  1. You just like to bang this drum, despite the entire world noticing the changes. You got to be you. So, Texas went from leading the nation in passes behind the LOS to PA deep shot offense, but it is all the same. Frequency of the type of play calls is completely different. I guess this is a case of do not trusting your lying eyes. Last year was mostly OZ and screen game (obviously over simplified). Athletic OL and a QB that excelled at throwing screens, so that fit. This year is way more PA deep shots. Sark was looking to take advantage of a QB that could threaten a defense deep. Big issue is nobody respects the run game. Hell, I do not even know what the focus of the run game is at this point. The OL cannot protect to get those PA shots off. Safeties are sitting back, because there is no reason to be quick to support the run game. Though outside of Mike Leach rising from the grave, I am not sure there is an offense that fits this OL. I just pray they improve and this comment looks stupid next weekend.
  2. They wasted 3 G5 opportunities to experiment with the OL and took a public embarrassment to get here, but it finally appears Sark realizes the OL is a huge issue. That is what I took from this hiring.
  3. who knows? It could be Kibble or Chatman in there. Maybe we could say something intelligent, if Flood realized the problem by the 2nd game.
  4. There lot of stuff. It better than things like Passer Rating. There is 0 positional grades outside of PFF. Good coaches put players in positions to succeed. Its why the Purple Wizard was so respected. We are witnessing Sark's have the opposite issue this year. He is running the offense he wants, not the offense his team can run. (Moved to more of a play action deep shot offense, with an OL that cannot run that).
  5. its better than most, but it is definitely not perfect (especially for CFB). It is a solid data point, but not the end all be all.
  6. Stroh is the taller midget at this point
  7. I said a while ago (when Pittman got fired) that I would like to see an NFL OL coach come in. I think there are some issues with our pass pro schemes. Florida was able to dictate match ups (RB on DE 1 on 1). Georgia abused them last year. I dont know OL play. I am sure there is someone in here that knows OL better, than can talk about this.
  8. https://www.footballscoop.com/2025/10/07/texas-hires-veteran-offensive-line-coach-tim-drevno thank you
  9. https://www.footballscoop.com/2025/10/07/texas-hires-veteran-offensive-line-coach-tim-drevno little late but appreciated.
  10. In @BurntOrange&White defense he is the Rock of Gibraltar on his opinions, he thinks everyone sucks and is quite loud about it. He is unwavering on that .
  11. I cannot rule out that the S&C is off, but I do not see the evidence for it. The DL has been really stout. The OL has been soft. If it was something simple like the team was not doing enough heavy squats, you would think it would show up across the board. You also have Stroh, who is as strong as an ox. I lean more to the techniques being taught or not taught on the OL
  12. Last year Texas was led the nation in passes behind the LOS. When the offense worked it was behind OZ and hitting some explosives in the short game mostly. This year the screen game has died. Sark is using more PA and targeting down field. Biggest issue is the OL cannot hold up and nobody respects the run game. Last year's offense was limited, because nobody respected the deep ball. This year's offense is limited, because nobody respects the run game and the OL cannot hold up in pas pro. Sark is going to have to develop a short passing game in a hurry
  13. Last years OL was fine. They were excellent in pass pro. Mediocre in the run game. They could maul weaker DLs with OZ (A&M and Clemson). My complaint on the OL is that Flood has produced nothing but finesse OLs. They catch Dl and screen. They do not fire out with a flat back. Arch would kil to have last year's OL. What did Jammer say? I think something like this OL looks like traffic cones, except traffic cones dont get penalties.
  14. Oregon is starting 3 OL from the portal. If Texas was looking for OL, I am pretty sure agents would inquire
  15. They have not given up. They came out and got pushed around. They actually played better in the 2nd half. I think this was more likely a DL that has not seen an OL fire out at them in over a month with a 230 pound NFL RB behind them. Florida's interior OL is probably the best Texas DL has faced this year.
  16. This is a reasonable take. Arch has improved greatly from OSU and that UTEP debacle. Arch needs to improve. The playmaking ability is obvious. He needs to raise the floor to his game. Still too many WTF plays every game. The OL is a much bigger concern at this point and big reason why Arch is probably going to continue to have WTF moments.
  17. I have 0 idea on who is a leader, but the offense does not really have one of those guys. Campbell is the only guy out there with skins on the wall. Rest are relatively young or first year starters.
  18. Murray is above breaking down all 3 of those. His thoughts on those: 1. Arch is beat too early on that one and a bit high. Not brutal int, actually rather see him a beat early.. 2. Wingo with a poor route and Arch with a poor decision. 3. That was bad. You have to just spike it there and take the L.
  19. Funny thing is people who watched on TV and listened to the announcer are pissing themselves. If you watched live or at a bar without the sound, you have a completely different view. You saw the Film Guy send out tweets hammering Arch during hte game, then he watched the All-22, and sent out a mea culpa to Arch. Murray, who previously hammered Arch, had a similar take in this game. Arch made some errors, nobody said he was great, but the OL and game plan pretty much killed this offense.
  20. I did not look go back and look at his ranking. I was going off reports from Spring and Summer. My bad.
  21. Fixed it for you.. He pretty much describes this chat. He tweeted out criticisms on Arch during the game, mostly based on the announcers' comments. He saw the ALL-22 film and put this out as a Mea Culpa to Arch, because has was able to see what a shitty situation Arch was put in for this game.
  22. I think this is 2-fold. Dallas Wilson was considered the next Jeramiah Smith. He was the elite of the elite. I would not put Wingo in that camp. Wingo has elite characteristics but needed some work. 2ndly, I think Sark asks a lot more from his offense and WRs. NFL offense is a cool recruiting tool, and it looks awesome when it works. It also means there is a much bigger learning curve for players.
  23. probably should add this. I think PFF took the pressure numbers down as Arch scrambled for positive yardage.
  24. Just bad game plans across the board. I dont get paid millions to come up with a game plan, but what comes to mind when you are playing a team with a great Rb, Qb struggling to see the field, and physically gifted WRs? My first thought is zone, especially missing your best CB. He was really annoyed with running containment rushes on a hobbled QB, especially down 2 scores.
